I recently acquired an older French bike and am hoping to collect some information.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks

There does appear to be a bracket for a front derailleur, but no derailleur itself.
The stem is in script. It may say Unid or Unic and also Brevete.
The Front hub is labeled Edco and has two large wing nuts which I assume are the predecessor to quick release systems.
Brake Levers: MAFAC
Rear Shifter: Huret
Platform Pedals: Berthet Lyotard made in France
Downtube: "La Sportive"
Head Tube: Decal with an old Sailing Battleship Top Tube: "Type Course"
Seat Tube: another ship decal and "Paris"
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Eagle which looks too new for the bike
Bottom Bracket Stamp: Nervex 61 o 64 o 022 2(in small type) E38
